Share Your Experience and Learn New Skills

Dublin Heritage Park and Museums opened in 2011, and volunteers help provide tours to the public. The Kolb House is a 1910 Craftsman Bungalow built by one of Dublin s early founders. This historic house museum has original family furniture and belongings and tells the story of the Kolbs  journey from Bavaria and settlement in Dublin. As a docent, you will learn and enjoy meaningful time in a beautiful park setting while sharing Dublin s agricultural history.

Training materials and coaching will be provided to prepare you to give tours. You will develop new skills while making new friends and learning more about Dublin s history. Volunteers are asked to give three hours a week. With the variety of volunteer needs at Heritage Park and Museums, you may work with the public (children or adults) or behind the scenes.

Many opportunities are for one-time special events, while others require ongoing commitment. The volunteer program offers flexibility to match needs with your schedule, skills, and interests.
